Teemu Arina macht hier noch einmal Werbung für den “MOOC”, den “Massive Open Online Course” über “Connectivism & Connective Knowledge”, den Stephen Downes und George Siemens zwischen September und November anbieten. “Exploring emerging topics in knowledge, learning and technology, It’s going to be held online and will utilize latest Web 2.0 technologies and distributed approaches. What is more important, is that if someone is going to pull this off, it’s George and Stephen, both the most visionary and knowledgeable teachers I’ve ever had online.”
